Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chen Lie knew that Shao Lin's words were intended to undermine his fighting spirit, but this had no effect on him; he was determined to be the top freshman.

Shao Lin sighed: "Since its founding, Starry Sky University has never had a non-Ten Star Alliance planet win first place in the freshman martial arts competition. Do you really think you can be an exception?"

Chen Lie said calmly, "It didn't exist before me, but it did after me!"

"But you come from Blue Star, a barren planet."

"Oh? Are the Canglong aliens that powerful? I've lost count of how many Canglong aliens I've defeated before you."

……

Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, the martial arts students of Canglong Star Martial Arts High School were immediately enraged, especially Shao Lin's fanatics, who directly shouted their condemnation.

"Isn't Chen Lie from this Blue Star way too arrogant?"

"I support Shao Lin beating Chen Lie to death. Since when has Starry Sky University become a place where people from peripheral star systems can act arrogantly?"

"This year's freshmen from the Ten Star Alliance planets are too weak. They actually let a freshman from a barren planet make it all the way to the finals, and in the end, Canglong Star had to turn the tide!"

"Go, Senior Shao! Take down this Earthling in one move!"

……

Chen Lie completely ignored the angry crowd of Canglong Star martial arts students below the stage.

Shao Lin said no more, and with a flick of his spirit sword, a powerful sword aura began to take shape.

At that moment, the broadcast blared: "The final martial arts competition of the Starry Sky University freshmen in Galactic Calendar 7366 is now beginning!"

With a single swing of his sword, Shao Lin unleashed a burst of lightning-fast sword energy from his cyan sword, slashing towards Chen Lie.

Chen Lie slashed upwards with his Blood River Blade, and a series of booming sounds rang out instantly.

Under the impact of the powerful sword energy, Chen Lie was forced to retreat dozens of steps. After regaining his footing, the Blood River Blade in his hand was still trembling, and a numb feeling surged into his hands that were holding the blade.

"Indeed, that's strong!"

This Shao Lin is even better than Wei Zeyang and Luo Yunshang.

Luo Yunshang and Wei Zeyang both possessed martial arts strength approaching the peak of the fourth-order Qi Gathering Realm. With just this one strike, Shao Lin surpassed both Luo Yunshang and Wei Zeyang, fully possessing the strength of the peak of the fourth-order Qi Gathering Realm.

The Canglongzhou martial arts students in the stands outside the fighting platform immediately cheered.

"Go, Senior Shao Lin! Take down this alien in three moves!"

"So arrogant just now, yet you couldn't even withstand a single move from Senior Shao. This just goes to show how useless this year's freshmen from the Ten Star Alliance planet are!"

……

:

Many fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girls from Canglongzhou left their seats and came to the edge of the battle stage, holding up flags with Shao Lin's name on them.

Clearly, these are all fervent fans of Shao Lin from the same martial arts academy.

Chen Lie ignored the accusations below, and after roughly estimating Shao Lin's strength, he immediately activated the Hunyuan Wuji Qigong at high speed and swung his sword to strike.

"The Blood Dragon Emerges from the Sea!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The Blood River Blade instantly unleashed a powerful blade aura that stretched for a thousand meters, slashing fiercely at Shao Lin.

Shao Lin retaliated with his sword, and a beam of azure light and a surge of sword energy collided with the crimson blade energy.

After a violent impact, Shao Lin made a sound of "Hmm?"

This Chen Lie, who was clearly far weaker than him just now, why is he suddenly able to fight him on equal footing?

In a single thought, he deduced that Chen Lie must have used all his true energy in that attack.

He shook his head: "The difference between us is obvious, why bother resisting?"

As he spoke, Shao Lin released his sword intent and sword momentum, unleashing a set of fierce sword techniques. Instantly, thousands of streaks of blue light flashed on the dueling platform, accompanied by a continuous "crackling" sound.

"Azure Nether Sword Technique, Thousand Swords Annihilation."

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Countless sword lights flashed from the tip of Shao Lin's sword, each strike aimed at Chen Lie.

Chen Lie unleashed the full power of the Blood Dragon Blade Technique, causing the true energy within his three dantian to be consumed at an alarming rate.

With each swing of his sword, nearly a third of the true energy in his dantian was depleted. Fortunately, the rate at which his true energy regenerated could barely keep up with the consumption, thanks to the effects of refining so many elemental stones earlier.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Lie and Shao Lin had exchanged over a hundred moves. The sound of swords clashing echoed across the battle arena, and the shockwaves generated by the clash of their forces rippled outwards, with explosions almost never ceasing.

"The sword rises from the azure sky!"

During the battle, Shao Lin suddenly unleashed a powerful sword aura, which Chen Lie immediately countered with his sword.

But as soon as the powerful sword energy was unleashed, the enormous impact sent Chen Lie flying to the very edge of the battle arena with a deafening boom.

"You've exhausted all your strength to barely match me, so what's the point of struggling? Let's end this!"

Shao Lin's power surged, and his already powerful sword energy was further enhanced.

With a loud "bang," a beam of azure light and a powerful sword aura pierced through the entire battle arena, slashing down at Chen Lie a second time.

At this critical moment, Chen Lie knew he couldn't wait any longer.

:

His "Primordial Chaos Qi Gong" circulated rapidly, shattering the barrier of the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm and instantly propelling him to the mid-stage of the second-tier Qi Refining Realm.

The breakthrough in his cultivation level caused Chen Lie's dantian to expand instantly. As his primordial qi grew stronger, the speed at which he generated true qi increased once again.

Chen Lie sensed the true qi flowing leisurely through the eight extraordinary meridians, like a tributary of the sea of ​​true qi in the three dantian.

After breaking through to the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm, Chen Lie's strength rose to a new level, and his previously weak true qi was completely renewed.

Faced with Shao Lin's series of slashes, Chen Lie didn't hesitate and swung his sword to meet the attack.

"Blood Dragon Blade Technique, Evil Dragon Splits the Abyss!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Chen Lie's sword energy formed a thousand-meter-long blood dragon, and with a single strike, it instantly shattered Shao Lin's Azure Light and Bright Sword Qi.

……

On the high platform, the heads of the three major martial arts departments of Starry Sky University were all taken aback.

The head of the Kendo department couldn't help but say, "If I'm not mistaken, didn't Chen Lie from Blue Star just break through to a breakthrough in battle?"

"Not bad. I didn't look closely before. This freshman is actually at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm?" the head of the Mental Force Department remarked.

It's incredible that a second-tier Qi Refining Realm cultivator could defeat so many late-stage and peak-stage third-tier Qi Condensation Realm martial arts geniuses from the Ten Star Alliance.

None of these True Essence Realm martial artists at this stage possessed the combat power of Chen Lie.

"Those who can win the top ten in the three major systems of the Ten Star Alliance planets are all people with extraordinary combat power. Although they are in the Qi Condensation Realm, their strength is above the Qi Gathering Realm."

In other words, Chen Lie of this Blue Star, at the second level of the Qi Flowing Realm, has the strength of the fourth level of the Qi Gathering Realm.

This combat power…

Both heads of the two departments felt a sense of unease.

If this fighting power can be maintained and even grow stronger, that would be terrifying.

Upon realizing this, the head of the Kendo Department quickly used his brain to retrieve Chen Lie's student information.

After reviewing the information, the head of the Kendo Department said, "The student information shows that this freshman named Chen Lie on Blue Star has a constitution of 'pure yang attribute blood'."

I've never heard of this constitution before. Could it be a pure Yang constitution?

The head of the Department of Mental Strength asked, "Could this combat strength be due to his physical constitution?"

I think that's about right.

:

The head of the Kendo department looked at Yan Zhiyun, the head of the Martial Arts department, and asked, "Director Yan, this Chen Lie is a student in your Martial Arts department, why don't you pay any attention to him?"

Yan Zhiyun said, "I already know about this person!"

"I see!"

The two heads of the Kendo and Mental Strength departments nodded.

Generally speaking, the advantage of special physical constitutions in boosting combat power is only maintained up to the eighth-level innate embryonic breathing realm before it is worn down.

The Canglan Starfield cannot produce anyone with enough combat power to defeat a fourth-stage Qi Gathering Realm cultivator at the second-stage Qi Refining Realm, let alone Blue Star.

……

On the battle stage, Chen Lie's strength surged due to his breakthrough, and he quickly turned the tide with a full-force counterattack.

Shao Lin's swordsmanship was superb, and his Azure Light and Light Sword Qi was displayed brilliantly and powerfully.

But as the battle progressed, he began to frown.

What's going on? Why has Chen Lie's strength suddenly increased so much?

Because Chen Lie tried his best to hide it and broke through his cultivation level in secret, few people could discover that he had just broken through, and Shao Lin was no exception.

In the clash of swordsmanship and saber techniques, the battle between Chen Lie and Shao Lin reached its climax.

The Canglongzhou martial arts students watching from below the stage held their breath.

They never expected that this Earthling could fight Shao Lin, the champion of the Canglongzhou Hundred Schools Martial Arts Competition, to such an extent.

It seems that it's not that the new students from the Ten Star Alliance planets this year are too weak, but rather that Chen Lie from Blue Star is too strong.

On the battle stage, Shao Lin suddenly realized that Chen Lie wanted to wear him down.

He learned from his companions that Chen Lie was extraordinary in terms of endurance, so he changed his sword moves and used a sword aura to force Chen Lie back, with the sword's momentum rising behind him.

"I admit you're very strong. Let's settle this with one move, shall we?"

Shao Lin slung his sword behind his back and said calmly.

"Can!"

Chen Lie, holding the Blood River Blade, responded indifferently.

Seeing that Chen Lie agreed, Shao Lin said no more. He raised his cyan longsword, and a surging sword intent emerged.

"Azure Nether Sword Technique, Ten Thousand Swords Punish Heaven!"

Shao Lin used all his true energy to unleash his strongest sword move. The sword momentum, sword intent, and sword move were all integrated into the sword energy. A thousand-meter-long beam of azure light, mixed with boundless baleful energy, sliced ​​through the air and slashed towards Chen Lie.

:

"Blood Dragon Blade Technique, Dragon Soars Through the Sky!"

In Chen Lie's hand, a blood-red dragon-shaped blade aura extended a thousand meters from the Blood River Blade, clashing horizontally with the Azure Light and Radiant Sword Aura.

"Boom boom boom," a deafening roar came.

The shockwave from the clash of swords instantly sent many Canglongzhou martial arts students who had just stepped forward from their seats flying.

Chen Lie focused his energy in his dantian, drawing out all his true qi to engage in a fierce battle with Shao Lin's sword strike.

Shao Lin did the same, using the Five Elements True Qi as an aid to form a cycle, which, together with the Electric True Qi, was all transported to the Azure Light Sword.

The blade energy and sword energy, stretching for kilometers, clashed, creating bursts of air explosions.

The audience below held their breath, watching the final outcome.

At this moment, Chen Lie activated his mental energy. Under the watchful eyes of the three True Essence Realm warriors, he did not dare to use Jingmu Han and Kang Jinlong, but instead launched a mental energy attack using the third star god, Liu Tu Zhang.

boom!

Shao Lin, who was attacked by mental energy, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind.

His inner energy instantly dissipated.

At this moment, Chen Lie suddenly increased his strength, drawing upon all his true energy to empower the Blood River Blade, causing its crimson blade aura to surge.

With a loud "boom".

The thousand-meter-long Qingguang Light Sword Qi collapsed and disintegrated in an instant, and Shao Lin was sent flying backward.

Chen Lie didn't give him a chance to regain his footing and slashed out with his sword again.

"Blood Dragon Slash!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Centered on Chen Lie, a powerful blade aura swept across the entire battle arena.

Under the force of this blade of energy, Shao Lin had no time to retaliate and was directly blasted off the battle stage.

The battle arena for the final showdown was cleaved in two by a single stroke.

The announcement then rang out: "The martial arts competition has ended. The final match of the Three Departments Martial Arts Tournament is between Chen Lie of the Martial Arts Department and Shao Lin of the Canglongxing Department."

Chen Lie from the Martial Arts Department emerged victorious, successfully winning first place in the Starry Sky University Freshman Martial Arts Competition of the 7366th year of the Galactic Calendar.

……

More than 100,000 spectators were stunned at that moment, and then they were speechless with astonishment.

:

"He...he...he actually won?"

"Starry Sky University has been established for nearly a thousand years. Is this the first time a freshman from a planet outside the Ten Star Alliance has won first place in the university's martial arts competition?"

"More than that? This Blue Star, where Chen Lie is located, is a planet in the Eastern Star Region!"

"Why is he so strong? Even Shao Lin is not as good as him?"

……

Many martial arts students in Canglongzhou, especially Shao Lin's fervent fans, could not believe, or rather, could not accept, this result.

It's understandable that the first place in the Starry Sky University's freshman martial arts competition was taken by a freshman from the Ten Star Alliance planet, but how could a human from Earth be so strong?

Inside the waiting area, Huang Yuxi's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

Chen Lie is truly remarkable; despite coming from a barren planet, he actually won first place at Starry Sky University.

"My God, is he really that good?"

Huang Yucheng in the back row was shocked. Based on the strength Chen Lie had just displayed, he was already on the same level as her. Even if he was weaker than her, he was only slightly weaker. Chen Lie was very close to making it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but she hadn't made it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking either.

The director of the Blue Star on-campus working group became incoherent and even slapped himself hard across the face.

"It's true...it's really true! Someone from our Blue Star actually won first place in the martial arts competition at Starry Sky University!"

After his initial excitement, Zhang Wenwu immediately contacted the Blue Star official via the interstellar satellite channel.

Such a momentous event must be reported to Earth immediately.

Instead of contacting him through the usual channels, he sent a message directly to the highest communication channel on Earth.

"This is the Blue Star Political Council's special channel. Is this Director Zhang Wenwu from the Starry Sky University's on-campus working group? What important information do you have...?"

The highest dedicated frequency channel on Earth is only used for extremely important matters. However, if someone on Earth defeats a top ten prodigy in the Starry Sky University's freshman martial arts competition, that is an extremely important matter for Earth.

"Blue Star won! Someone from Blue Star has defeated the Ten Star Alliance's prodigy in the Starry Sky University's all-school freshman martial arts competition, taking first place in the entire university!"

"What?"

A surprised and puzzled voice came from the Blue Star dedicated frequency channel.

Zhang Wenwu wanted to explain, but upon hearing the voices from the battle platform, he immediately said, "I'll interrupt the communication first, and I'll explain in detail later."

……

Bai Xinlin, the host of the martial arts competition, walked onto the fighting stage and approached Chen Lie with a smile.

"Let us, the more than 100,000 spectators here, congratulate Chen Lie from Blue Star on winning the championship of the Starry Sky University Freshman Martial Arts Competition in the 7366th year of the Galactic Calendar and becoming the number one freshman this year."
